Professional Photography by Francis Wong...

While at the STGCC 2010, we had the luck and luxury of being photographed by professional photographer Mr. Francis Wong. As a result, both the photos and the subjects (a-hem) came out beautiful and near perfect.

WW2 goes to Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention (STGCC) 2010

Yes, we (Bob, Jiahan and myself) were all geared up to conquer STGCC 2010! Bob was a Russian officer, Jiahan was a Heer enlisted man and I was a Panzergrenadier Unteroffizer. The fair was very lively with many VIPs and countless toys and toy-related merchandise!

It was a three-day event but I was there on Saturday, Dec 11 as I had to fly off to Taiwan the next day.

I thought I did up a rather unconvincing James Bond pose with the P-38.

Lost images found!

I was searching through my messy albums in Photobucket and found these little gems that I thought was gone with the wind.

These photos featured Andreas and myself dressing up and displaying our WW2 German collection for an intended newspaper article with The New Paper back in 2006. The article did not materialise but the pictures are preserved!
